EVENT_SUMMARY
Your vehicle's engine has a brake vacuum pump driven by a camshaft lobe that might break off, causing brake assist to fail.
RISK_ASSESSMENT
If this happens, you could lose brake assist, which means you'll need to press the brake pedal harder and further to stop your vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
RESOLUTION_PROTOCOL
A free software update to your engine control module will be performed by a Volkswagen dealership to prevent the brake vacuum pump from failing.
